A curio from New Zealand, apparently Esk Valley are the only people to have planted Verdelho in the country. This bottle was so-so, I've had better bottles of this before, perhaps this was a recent shipment that needs time to settle? Not as much aromatics this time around.

2013: dry, lively and fresh. Reminds me of a Gru V with vegetal notes of rocket, salad leaf, white pepper and with Limey, grapefruit notes. Good acidity, vibrancy, and cleanliness, very minerally
